Woke Up New - The Mountain Goats

On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time

I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared

And I began to talk to myself almost immediately

Not being used to being the only person there

The first time I made coffee for just myself I made too much of it But I drank it all just 'cause you hate it when I let things go to waste

And I wandered through the house like a little boy, lost at the mall

And an astronaut could’ve seen the hunger in my eyes from space

And I sang oh, what do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do without you?

On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time

I was cold so I put on a sweater and I turned up the heat

And the walls began to close in and I felt so sad and frightened

I practically ran from the living room out into the street

And the wind began to blow and all the trees began to pant

And the world, in its cold way, started coming alive

And I stood there like a business man waiting for the train

And I got ready for the future to arrive

And I sang oh, what do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do without you?
